AbstractIn this paper, we study the discreteness criteria for nonelementary subgroups of U(1,n;ℂ) acting on complex hyperbolic space. Several discreteness criteria are obtained. As applications, we obtain a classification of nonelementary subgroups of U(1,n;ℂ) and show that any dense subgroup of SU(1,n;ℂ) contains a dense subgroup generated by at most n elements when n≥2. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalizer of a discrete and nonelementary subgroup in SU(1,n;ℂ) to be discrete.

Abstract Given a combinatorially symmetric matrix A whose graph is a tree T and its eigenvalues, edges in T can be classified in four categories, based upon the change in geometric multiplicity of a particular eigenvalue, when the edge is removed. We investigate a necessary and sufficient condition for each classification of edges. We have similar results as the case for real symmetric matrices whose graph is a tree. We show that a g-2-Parter edge, a g-Parter edge and a g-downer edge are located separately from each other in a tree, and there is a g-neutral edge between them. Furthermore, we show that the distance between a g-downer edge and a g-2-Parter edge or a g-Parter edge is at least 2 in a tree. Lastly we give a combinatorially symmetric matrix whose graph contains all types of edges.

AbstractIn this paper we study expansive automorphisms of compact 0-dimensional abelian groups. Our main result is the complete algebraic and topological classification of the transitive expansive automorpisms for which the maximal order of the elements isp2for a primep. This yields a classification of the transitive expansive automorphisms with topological entropy logp2. Finally, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for an expansive automorphism to be conjugated, topologically and algebraically, to a shift over a finite group.

We studied plane curves in Lie sphere geometry in [YY]. Especially we constructed Lie frames of curves in S2 and classified them by the Lie equivalence. In this paper we are concerned with surfaces in S3. We construct Lie frames and classify them. We moreover obtain the necessary and sufficient condition that two surfaces are Lie equivalent.

SUMMARYThis article synthezises the most important results on the kinematics of cuspidal manipulators i.e. nonredundant manipulators that can change posture without meeting a singularity. The characteristic surfaces, the uniqueness domains and the regions of feasible paths in the workspace are defined. Then, several sufficient geometric conditions for a manipulator to be noncuspidal are enumerated and a general necessary and sufficient condition for a manipulator to be cuspidal is provided. An explicit DH-parameter-based condition for an orthogonal manipulator to be cuspidal is derived. The full classification of 3R orthogonal manipulators is provided and all types of cuspidal and noncuspidal orthogonal manipulators are enumerated. Finally, some facts about cuspidal and noncuspidal 6R manipulators are reported.

This paper originated with our interest in the open question “If every pure subgroup of an LCA group G is closed, must G be discrete ?” that was raised by Armacost. The answer was surprisingly easy, but led to some interesting questions. We attempted to characterise those LCA groups that contain a proper pure dense subgroup, and found that every non-discrete torsion-free LCA group contains a proper pure dense subgroup; so does every non-discrete infinite self-dual torsion LCA group. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a torsion LCA group to contain a proper pure dense subgroup.

The concept of a tracially AF (TAF)C*-algebra was introduced recently to aid in the classification of nuclearC*-algebrasHere, we construct and study a broad class of inductive-limitC*-algebras. We give a numerical condition which, when satisfied, ensures that the corresponding algebra in our construction has the TAF property. We further give a necessary and sufficient condition under which certain of theseC*-algebras are TAF.

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the graded algebra of automorphic forms on a symmetric domain of type IV being free. From the necessary condition, we derive a classification result. Let $M$ be an even lattice of signature $(2,n)$ splitting two hyperbolic planes. Suppose $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of the integral orthogonal group of $M$ containing the discriminant kernel. It is proved that there are exactly 26 groups $\Gamma$ such that the space of modular forms for $\Gamma$ is a free algebra. Using the sufficient condition, we recover some well-known results.

AbstractIn this paper, four new discreteness criteria for isometric groups on complex hyperbolic spaces are proved, one of which shows that the Condition C hypothesis in Cao [‘Discrete and dense subgroups acting on complex hyperbolic space’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.78 (2008), 211–224, Theorem 1.4] is removable; another shows that the parabolic condition hypothesis in Li and Wang [‘Discreteness criteria for Möbius groups acting on $\overline {\mathbb {R}}^n$ II’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.80 (2009), 275–290, Theorem 3.1] is not necessary.
